Makeup Ideas: The 5 Products We Can't Wait to Try This Fall

Whoa. Wait, what? Did I just say fall? Yes, I did, and I apologize. I know we're all desperately waiting for the weather to finally feel like spring, and it seems like the last thing you want to think about is next fall. But here's one reason you will want to think about that crisp season: There are a few major beauty products that won't be available until then.

Every season, beauty companies debut new products backstage at fashion shows, giving them to the hair and makeup artists to test them out before they hit stores. And this season offered a ton of cool, exciting products that I personally can't wait to get my hands on. So check out my list below, pin these pictures to your Pinterest, email this link to yourself, and start your fall shopping list a bit early.

Shiseido Perfect Rouge in Harmony RD750(top right). This was the rosy pink lipstick that makeup artist Dick Page used to create the no-makeup makeup look at Narciso Rodriguez, and while it looks unassuming, it's the shade you'll want to whip out every day of the week. "It's one of those 'my lip color but better' colors" is how Page described it, which means it will go with every single piece of makeup you own and complement every look you can think of, from smoky eyes to just a few coats of mascara.

M.A.C. Fluidline in Gold (center right). This brassy gold cream liner is just one of the many products M.A.C. tested for fall, but it has to be my all-time favorite. Not only is it a flattering, sophisticated shade of gold (meaning it's not too yellow or too sparkly), but it's also versatile. Use an angled liner brush to trace this along your top and bottom lashes or to stack it on top of black liquid liner for just a flash of light. Or use it like Tom Pecheux did at Blumarine, tapping it all over the lids and brow bone with your finger for a very sheer layer of gold all around the eyes. And guess what? You only have to wait till August for it to appear on shelves.

Giorgio Armani Beauty Rouge Ecstasy lipstick(center left). Giorgio Armani Beauty has some seriously amazing lipstick formulas—and even more amazing colors. I mean, the Rouge D'Armani formula is the stuff makeup dreams are made of. That is why I'm so excited for them to debut an entire line of sheer lipsticks in October, called Rouge Ecstasy. You know it's going to be good. Makeup artist Linda Cantello mixed two of them together backstage at the Giorgio Armani show in Milan to create the prettiest, sheerest wash of color you can imagine.

Redken Diamond Oil(top left). Redken's creative consultant, hairstylist Guido, broke out this non-silicone-based, hydrating hair oil at nearly every show he did. No, seriously. Every show. Why? Because it's one of the products that you can use in a million ways. He layered it on top of gel or hair spray at shows like Lanvin, Roberto Cavalli, and Prada for a superslick wet look. He spread a very thin layer over blown-out hair at Alexander Wang to give the hair a healthy sheen, and put a few drops in his palms before styling the hair at Valentino to make it easier to get a clean, perfect braid. At home, you can also use it pre-blowout to make dry, damaged hair more manageable, and, depending on how fried your hair is, there is a more intense version to do the heavy smoothing. Even better news is that this comes out in May, just in time for the hair-ravaging months of summer.

M.A.C. Pro Eye Gloss in Black Sea and Mother of Pearl (bottom). You probably saw these pots of glitter all over Allure's Instagram feed—that's because I was absolutely obsessed with them. They are extremely tacky gels—one clear and filled with iridescent glitter, and one a sheer black with iridescent glitter— meant to go on the eyes (but they can go anywhere on the face, really). They were created to make makeup artists' lives easier, since eye glosses are such a mess to work with. The sticky formula makes it so they don't smear what's underneath or melt after five minutes. The bad news is they were only backstage for testing purposes this season, which means there is no set launch date as of yet. Fingers crossed that the tests went well!
